Episode 8.

Spoiler for key events:

A nice one showing how indeed synergy is a good restriction in the game. At least for Royal Paladin clan; I don't know if other clans also have that.

Aichi got to use his card from the previous time he won by ... losing and finally got to win.

On the other hand I didn't get what his opponent's strategy was. I saw no synergy and just two web attacks based on damage. Did he even have one?

Anyway, it was a good episode for showing how synergy (or the power of your friends) can help you win. On the other hand, Aichi WAS talking about that in earlier episodes as well; it's not like he found out about that right now. Remember that unicorn doing something similar? It was practically his grade 3 card that gave him the victory.

His opponent also had grade 3s but... couldn't do shit. That web could only be used twice even by grade 2s so in a way he DIDN'T have a strategy at all. Kai used soul burn with that dragon of his, Misaki had a fast draw strategy, Kamui had a double attack ... This 4 eyes had nothing.

So no, in the long run I fail to see why Aichi has improved. He lost by opponents who had a strategy and won against one who didn't. Big deal!
